My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*** Fuzzball is at the Cat & Craft ***

Solid black, long hair, neutered male, born approx. 8/23/22, #18231

Cats: gets along but is dominant
Dogs: unknown
Children: older, cat-savvy kids

Last year, a nice human began feeding a mama cat and her four newborn kittens who showed up in the neighborhood. Sadly, it seemed like the mom and the babes started to disappear one-by-one as time passed by. Worried, the neighbor hoped someone may have trapped the kitties to send to a rescue. Thinking the fluffy family was gone, he suddenly spotted Fuzzball in the yard! Not wanting to take any chances, he scooped up the little guy and called The Rescue House for help.

Fuzzball (or "Fuzz" as he is known by those in his inner circle) comes with a HUGE personality! Adorably sassy and very affectionate, he'll keep you entertained with his silly antics. First of all, Fuzzball is a big talker. Thankfully, he is a fantastic listener and loves engaging in conversations. Just call out his name, and he'll respond with a cute "meow!" Usually a cheerful dude, he rarely hisses or shows any aggression. You might hear a tiny grumble when he's grumpy, but that's it. An optimist, Fuzzball likes to focus on the happy stuff like food! Our fellow has some extra chonk and would appreciate assistance in achieving his weight-loss goals. Being very food-motivated, he also asks for your forgiveness in advance for his loud meows when the hanger strikes. Using the puzzle feeder is a fantastic way to engage his mind while he dines. Who doesn't like dinner and a puzzle? Sticking to his diet and saving treats for special tricks will help him along the way. Pets, belly rubs and chin scratches are wonderful, calorie-free ways to reward him. He has the softest coat ever! Feeling ooey-gooey, he'll start kneading biscuits on your legs. While he loves sitting and sleeping by your side, Fuzzball values his space. Not a lap cat per se, he'll rest part of his body on you but not entirely on top of you. And please don't stick your face too close to his. He finds that cringy. A very important matter: Fuzzball has a favorite toy called Mr. Mouse who is his BFF and lifelong companion. One time, Mr. Mouse was lost under a dresser for a month. When the search and rescue team finally found him, Fuzzball was overjoyed! Extremely attached, Fuzzball and his toy, Mr. Mouse are a packaged deal and must stay together.

Our friendly panther gets along with other cats and loves kittens. However, he likes to be the king and will likely boss around the timid felines. We don't know how he feels about dogs. He'd probably welcome older, cat-savvy kids.

Fuzzball is the silliest goose you'll ever meet! Do you have room in your heart and home for Fuzzball... and his beloved toy, Mr. Mouse?
